Lead a Critter-Powered Revolution in Hack-and-Slash Verminsteel

Face armies of fascist rats, free the realm on PC via Steam

SEATTLE – Feb. 26, 2026 – Verminsteel, the anthropomorphic hack-and-slash where a corvid faces off against massive hordes of enemies from SkateBIRD developer Glass Bottom Games, draws its weapons on PC via Steam in 2027, as revealed during IGN Fan Fest.

Wield swords, Molotovs, frying pans, and more against occupying forces as a crow warrior alongside a crew of determined fuzzy friendlies. Battle thousands of opponents at once and claim strategic points to gain the tactical advantage. Push back the fascists, go toe to toe with their powerful leaders, and kick the wicked forces of the Verminsteel back under the rock they crawled from! For Fragaria!

Defend the helpless in cinematic battles across the Fragarian countryside, swinging your broadswords through killer combos to best hostile rats, pigs, hawks, stoats, and more. Encounter and save townsfolk from the Verminsteel's fiendish grasp, then accept gifts of hidden-away stores of upgraded weaponry, new combat skills, and other treasures.

Don’t face the Verminsteel alone: Play as other characters like Clod the badger and Cookie the rat, and rally other rescued allies to join the strengthening revolution! Tag-team mid-fight, utilizing their specialized skills to overwhelm enemies in any situation. Equip and upgrade the scavenged weapons of three distinct classes to grow more powerful with every skirmish.

Become a storied hero and master an accessible yet deep combat system. Face greater challenges across four difficulty levels, Foam, Bronze, Iron, and Steel, all while rocking out to original hardcore bardcore beats to bash enemies’ skulls to.

“Neighbors coming together to defend the community is the founding principle driving Crow and their friends forward throughout their quest, and is a principle we as humans must remember as well,” said Megan Fox, founder of Glass Bottom Games. “We hope Verminsteel in some small way inspires others to seek out their community and find where they can help, or even organize efforts themselves if need be.”

Verminsteel prepares for battle on PC via Steam. To learn more about Glass Bottom Games, check out their website, follow the studio on Mastodon and Bluesky, and join the official Discord community.
